Here
are some common sense rules that motorists should follow
to maximize safety in the car:

1. Plan the route you will take
and let someone know where you are going and your
expected time of arrival.2. Have your car keys ready prior
to approaching the vehicle.3. Always view the interior of your
car before entering.4. Lock your doors when in a vehicle
to stop an offender from getting into the vehicle
at traffic stops.5. Be cautious of any stranger approaching
the vehicle. If you feel danger, press the horn repeatedly
in short blasts to attract attention.6. If you think you are being followed,
drive to the nearest public place and blow the horn
– do not drive home.7. Do not pick up hitchhikers.8. Have a flashlight in the glove
box or in the vehicle for emergencies at night.

If you have car trouble:

1. Raise the hood of your car half
way. If your vehicle does not permit this, raise it
full way.2. Lock yourself in the car and wait
for the police or a service truck.3. If a stranger offers to help,
do not get out. Open the window slightly and ask the
person to call a service truck.4. Carry a cell phone if possible.
